      Carl Froch explains why Anthony Joshua will be in ‘serious trouble’ against Daniel Dubois at Wembley

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA will be in “serious trouble” against Daniel Dubois, according to Carl Froch.The former super-middleweight world champion anticipates a big test for AJ at Wembley on Saturday.Carl Froch believes Daniel Dubois will cause Anthony Joshua problemsCredit: GettyFroch claims Dubois’ style could give him a big advantageCredit: Steve BellFroch believes Dubois is a genuine world champion after taking over the IBF belt vacated by Oleksandr Usyk in June.And like Usyk, Froch has tipped Dubois to take the fight to Joshua and get right in his face.Dubois will be a different proposition for Joshua than his previous four fights according to Froch, who also pointed out Dubois’ better form having beaten Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic since he also lost to Usyk.Froch said on Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips: “Dubois is a good fighter, this is the biggest moment of his career. He’s a big, strong heavyweight and can punch hard. He’s actually in better form than AJ.READ MORE IN BOXING“I think AJ’s head’s not in the right space where he’s confident to go back in against a genuine world champion. I think if Dubois gets in the ring and puts it on him, you might see AJ in some serious trouble.“No one’s done that to him since Usyk. Usyk played with him twice, beat him up twice. So what’s AJ done since then? He’s fought four nobodies who didn’t try and only came to get a paycheck.”However Froch did still tip Joshua to win the contest because of his greater experience, but sent a big warning about what could happen if he loses.He added: “I think if he beats AJ it’s the end of AJ.
